The success of the Founding Fathers in building a nation has for a long time attracted a sense of marvel. That admiration is well deserved.

Their assumptions and expectations will be the subject of this article. It will show that the Truman administration believed that on developments in Eastern Europe depended the ultimate stability of the Soviet State itself. If the United States...
